I am reminded of what John Ruskin said about colors:
If you have a good eye for colours, you will soon find out how constantly Nature puts people and green together, purple and scarlet, green and blue, yellow and neutral grey, and the like...
Nature does it best but the photography and the photograpers art has to be able to present the colors properly. You've sure done that!
One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by inferiors. – Plato
There are 2 more that go with these I have to find. Another one with the same obverse as the first one but a different reverse. And another like the last one but it is 11 sided instead of round.
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." -Luke 11:9
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." -Deut. 6:4-5
"For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; He will save us." -Isaiah 33:22
Actually, there are quite a number of different metal varieties that are still out there. They were also struck in bronze, silver, and gold with many varieties of obverse/reverse combinations. Good start though
Scott where I know about the different metals but where are there references for for the other obv/rev combos? I did not see any others in the Kienast or Schaaf? Are these in the addendum for the Kienast?
I added them to the website with their Schaaf numbers ( and Kienast too ) But in the Schaaf I only found six different designs but like Scott said they do come in different flavors.
